Social Media Manager Support Course

Hello! At Social Bods, we are committed to helping you to become a professional freelance social media manager.

Whether you want to become a freelance social media manager for extra income, or to find a way of fitting work in around other commitments, there is demand out there for people just like you. Social media marketing is a growing industry and many businesses don’t have the skills or time to do it properly. If you have the skills, then you can sell them to a commercial company for cash.

Social Bods are here to help you make the leap from being a competent user of social media to a freelance professional.

Learn more about the course from our founder Joanne Brady.

Pricing £200 – no vat applicable

This is for eight modules with a weekly webinar and handouts, and includes ongoing membership of the Facebook support group.

I have priced this to reflect what it takes for me to deliver the content. £200 is approximately what you would get from one client for one month’s work. Work and clients after this point are your profit!

The fee is payable in two four-weekly installments of £100 and payment can be made by bank transfer, or by Go Cardless.
